I saw him plenty when he was with the Preds, both his tenures. How much have you seen him play? The guy is a game breaker, just cause he's a Russian doesn't mean he's all skill and no D.
The night out in Phoenix? he has a different story.

Like the poster said if he decides to come over all but Nashville will line up to get him. He can play top line hockey and produce when needed.
